About

Jim Noonan, Submission Editor

Jim Noonan studied creative writing at SUNY Binghamton, haunted by the ghost of John Gardner. His stories come to him like vapor coalescing - magically, of their own volition. He has learned to be still and listen, because that’s where momentum lies. Jim's short fiction can be found at Juicebox, Static Movement, and on scraps of paper strewn about his office.
